The mosquito-borne virus _21_ (link) to a surge in babies born with microcephaly ( 小头畸形)in Brazil since it was first found there last year.The WHO was widely
14、criticized for its slow response to the 2014 Ebola crisis in West Africa. This time, it is eager to show its responsiveness. The organization took the rare step in spite of a lack of strong evidence _22 _Zika is directly responsible for microcephaly. The WHO estimated there could be up to four milli

Similar declarations were made
16、for polio (小儿麻痹症)in 2013 and swine flu in 2009. Such emergency declarations are meant as_ 25 _ international SOS signal. They usually lead to_26 _ （increase）efforts to stop the outbreak, as well as motivating researches into possible treatments and vaccines.Zika was first identified in 1947 in Afric
17、a. So far, there have been no effective treatments or vaccines for the virus. Michael Osterholm, an American public health expert, said it was still unclear _27 _Zika had evolved since it first appeared in Africa. But he added hat even minor genetic changes _28_ have serious consequences.Osterholm s

It seems to know youre a woman in your late 20s and, in fact, it does. When you look at
21、 the display, it scans your facial features and _31 _ its messages to you. Once the stuff of science fiction and high-tech crime fighting, facial recognition technology has become one of the newest tools in marketing, even though _32 _concerns a lot. Kraft Foods Inc. and Adidas say they are planning
22、 to _33_ with it as early as this year to push their products.The commercial_34_of facial recognition are in contrast to those being used by law enforcement to _35 _specific individuals. Companies， at least at this point, _36_just want to discover a demographic (人口统计资料)based on age and gender to be

31、local” and “ global” segments will grow in the medium term, but the “glocal” one is expected to grow at a 48 pace due to a greedy appetite for foreign education, and expanding middle-class in emerging economies ,and technological innovation.On the other hand, the “global” segment will grow at a slow

58、y.The proposal calls for more than 85% of the solar system to be placed off-limits to human development, leaving no more than an eighth for space firms to mine for precious metals, minerals and other materials. While the limit would protect pristine worlds from the worst excesses of human activity ,
59、 its primary goal is to ensure that humanity avoids a catastrophic( 灾 难 性 的 ) future in which all of the resources within its reach are permanently used up.“If we dont think about this now, we will go ahead as we always have, and in a few hundred years we will face an extreme crisis, much worse than
60、 we have on Earth now,” said Martin Elvis, a senior astrophysicist at the Simthsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “Once youve exploited the solar system, theres nowhere left to go.” Fledgling space mining companies have set their sights on trillions of pounds worth of iron
61、 and precious metals locked up in asteroids (小行星)，along with valuable minerals and trillions of tonnes of water on the moon.In Britain, the Asteroids Mining Corporation hopes to send a satellite into orbit in the comingyears to prospect for nearby asteroids. Much of the mined material would be used
62、in space to build habitats on the moon and make rocket fuel.With Tony Milligan, a philosopher at Kings College London, Elvis analysed how soon humans might use up the solar systems most accessible resources should space mining take off. They found that an annual growth rate of 3.5% would use up an e
63、ighth of the solar systems realistic resources in 400 years. At that point, humanity would have only 60 years to apply the brakes and avoid exhausting the supply completely.Because humans may struggle to mine the sun, or extract useful materials from the gas giant Jupiter, the researchers see a ster
64、oids, the moon, Mars and other rocky planets as the most realistic targets for space miners.But which areas are protected from mining is a subtle decision, the scientists write in the forthcoming issue of Acta Astronautica. The Valles Marinerison Mars, the largest canyon in the solar system, might d
65、eserve protection much as the Grand Canyon is protected on Earth. But there are other sites too, said Elvis. “Do we want cities on the near side of the moon that light up at night? Would that be inspiring or horrifying ? And what about the rings of Saturn? They are beautiful, almost pure water ice.
66、Is it OK to mine those so that in 100 years they are gone?”“If everything goes right, we could be sending our first mining missions into space within 10 years,” he added. “Once it starts and somebody makes an enormous profit, there will be the equivalent of a gold rush.”63.What is the ultimate aim o
67、f the proposal that calls for the preservation of much of the solar system?A. To prevent space firms making huge profits by mining the asteroids.B. To stop the solar system from being over-cultivated by human beings.C. To protect the systems accessible resources from being exhausted.D. To draw peopl

72、 message behind Legos wheelchair boy is so much larger than his tiny stature.A Marked Shift in Toy BoxesSometimes the smallest of things have the biggest of impacts. Last week Lego showed its first ever wheelchair-using mini-figure at a toy fair in Germany. For an inch-tall plastic boy, hes been mak

Whats the big deal?” _67_ His birth in the toy bo
74、x marks a significant shift within childrens industries. There are 150 million children with disabilities worldwide, yet until now they have scarcely ever seen themselves positively reflected in the media and toys they consume.In her recently published book Disability and Popular Culture , Australia
75、n academic Katie Ellis writes: “Toys mirror the values of the society that produce them. ” _68_ Whether intentionally or not, it has sent out a powerful message of inclusion.The toys, TV，films, games, apps and books that entertain and educate our children barely feature children with any kind of imp
76、airment or difference. When did you last see disability represented positively in a childrens film, cartoon, or computer game? Have you ever seen a set of emojis that reflect the disabled experience? Then, how could disabled children gain positive self-esteem when the culture around them appears to
77、place no value on their existence?_69 _There is a danger that these children will feel like permanent outsider in the world. _70_ However, it seems no one knows quite how to fix it. We dance delicately around disability, scared to offend or get it wrong, so we dont do it. This exclusion is causing d
78、amage to millions of children, yet the answer is quite simple. Lets hope that one day, positive representations of disability are included so seamlessly across childrens industries that they cease to be noteworthy at all.IV.

When youre the only member of your social circle with the latest hot device, people s
80、tare in fascination. However, people tend to underestimate the costs of this temporary coolness, which they pay in more ways than one.Frankly speaking, early adoption is a bad investment. The earliest version of devices are not only expensive, they are also the most expensive that those devices will
81、 ever be. Companies are attempting to recover the cost of production as fast as they can, and once the profits from early adopters purchases are safely in their hands, they can cut the price and shift to the next marketing stage: selling the product to everyone else. This is why the cost of the orig

83、r that were discontinued in early 2008. the early adopters were then stuck with pricey devices that just sat on their shelves collecting dust. Another good reason to resist the early adoption temptation is that the first version of a product typically has imperfections. For example, when Microsofts
84、game machine, Xbox One, was first released in 2013, users immediately began to complain of problems. Devoted gamers worked to find and share solutions to these issues.

92、an English program for middle school students. So Im writing to suggest a program named “All-round Shanghai”.
